...really??? I see the odd one every so often but wasn't aware of any community?

Any chance you'd pm some details or give me a pointer in the right direction?

Cheers ;)

Re: New site and new member

I'm a bit further South than you unfortunately (Pontypridd to be exact), but I know how you feel...not many mk1's in my neck of the woods either!! :(

Occasionally, I see the odd mk1 on the a470 in the mornings, plenty of tarted up probes tho! :lol:

Well, when the weather improves hows about we meet half way for a pint? :idea: Perfect roads for the mk1 between north/south wales!! 8-)

Here are a few pics i took of the car the other day, like i said not looking fantastic at the moment!

The door doesnt look to pretty at the moment! My plans for the car are to repair the damage as soon as possible, give everything a good clean, replace a few missing parts and a full service with timing belt replacment! When i can get a garage sorted out to give the whole car a freshen up! Treat all the rust, respray the car with a few more body modifications, referb the wheels, get the engine rebuilt, put on some lowering springs, uprated bushes and engine mounts. Finally fully sound deaden the interior and put in a new sound system! Got alot to do but i think it will be worth it!
